The Raven (大鴉, Ōgarasu, lit. "Great Raven") is a major antagonist in Princess Tutu. He is Mytho's arch-nemesis created from Drosselmeyer's incomplete story, The Prince and the Raven. Mytho shattered his heart with the Prince's Sword in order to seal up the Raven, who then requires the sacrifice of young, beautiful hearts in order to eat them and regain his form.
He stole Rue from her parents as a child, raising her as his daughter, Princess Kraehe. He orders Kraehe to corrupt Mytho with the raven's blood and is cruel and abusive to her. The Raven even tries to eat Kraehe's heart after she fails to bring him a sacrifice one time too many.[1] Eventually, when Rue's love for the Prince enables him to break free from the tainted heart shard, Mytho rescues Rue in Akt 26 and together they finally defeat the Raven with the Prince's Sword's Limit Break into his heart.
The Raven does not appear in the manga, but is briefly mentioned by Edel.
